Basketball attendance isn't a new issue and being a good team helps but doesn't erase it. Coming off back to back final four elite eight seasons crisler didn't even sell out for a home game against a top 10 wisconsin half way through the season. If it takes a top 15 team to fill up the building the fanbase isn't all that great.

It may be true, but when you are posting things about a guy not being a take on the day of his decision a week after reporting that he would be a take it looks like sour grapes. Good luck to this kid in his career, hopefully for him Brian Kelly isn't around for most of it.

Counting on Grant Newsome is risky and you are counting on the oline getting better by replacing the guys that left this year with people who couldn't beat them out or true freshman. And while the receivers flashed talent Darboh and Chesson will probably both be drafted. Lots of talent, no idea what will happen but I am very nervous about the oline.

Why is it an issue? Obviously infidelity isn't a great look but if its not students working for the team, and they are over 18 it is just two consenting adults having sex. Not really a lot of bearing on him as a football coach.

I'm honestly expecting a Herbert flip at this point and Slaton only gets back in the picture if he can get his test scores up. Its obviously doable but worrying about him before he takes an ov doesn't seem worth it so I thin we have room. The real question is from where on the current roster these extra 6-7 spots are coming from.

Sorry zero reasons not specifically designed to punish transfers specifically for the purpose of making transfers less appealing so schools have more power and leverage over kids to prevent them from doing what is best for them.

I think its a reach that its a financial decision, if that were true injured guys wouldn't be allowed to travel either by rule. Its a rule designed to punish transfers. Defend it on those grounds and we can agree to disagree about whether its right for the NCAA to control the movement of kids attempting to do what is best for them and their future, but don't try to frame this as the NCAA looking out for the taxpayers of the state of michigan, they don't give a fuck about that and neither does EMU.

If I'm a taxpayer and or tuition paying student I don't want the football team going to a bowl if that is how you look at it. You want to help 72 year old Eleanor Smith deal with schools having to gaurantee ticket sales and work your way down from there. Especially since this rule isn't to protect Eleanor Smith, its to make transfers less appealing by making the period of transfer as miserable as possible to give power to the schools over the players.

Except nobody would be forcing EMU to bring him. It should be the schools choice, not the NCAA. If he can't play and the school decides him traveling isnt worth the cost they can say no, if they think having him there benefits the team he can travel with them as a member of the team. Teams also often bring injured players who can't play, Peppers was at the bowl game last year. It should be a school decision.

He didn't have a bad year but I bet if you had told people he'd have less of an impact and get less snaps than chase winovich when he was supposedly pushing to start in the off season nobody would have thought it was possible. And if I like burgers want to make a comparison to another freshman nick bosa had a statiscally better year but I'm not going to pretend I watched a lot of osu games.

I don't know, more information was provided in the time between when they said that and todays ranking including Washington beating a common opponent more handily than we did. That was always the thing about the commitee's comments, they were made without complete profiles

What was unbalanced? We had common opponents of Maryland, Rutgers, MSU, Inidana, OSU, Iowa, Wisconsin this year. There isn't a single big ten team we played they didn't and they won the division we were in. Maybe its stupid a loss against Iowa coutns more than a loss against Pitt because of divisional affiliation but if that is the case there isn't a need for a conference championship and teams should just play whoever.

It will still be interesting to see if psu jumps Michigan to 5th. There is a small part of me that hopes it happens both so we just know that conference champion matters more than head to head and also so I know we never had a shot at the playoff and vt losing didn't make a difference.
